Trump Demands a Raise After Working Fake Shift at McDonalds
Trump demanded a raise after his first shift at McDonalds over the weekend, despite the store being closed while he was working and no actual customers being served. Trump wouldn't commit to raising the minimum wage, however, after being pressed on the issue by reporters.
Trump repeatedly pushed back against the notion of raising the federal hourly minimum wage during his tenure as president. Trump's photo-op fake day of work cooking fries at a closed down McDonalds makes a mockery of the hard working low-wage workers at those franchises. Trump didn't have the courage to pull an actual shift at McDonalds, ironically showing why the minimum wage should be raised.
"Today, Donald Trump showed exactly what we would see in a second Trump term: exploiting working people for his own personal gain," Harris-Walz 2024 Spokesperson Joseph Costello said in a statement. "Trump doesn’t understand what it’s like to work for a living, no matter how many staged photo ops he does, and his entire second term plan is to give himself, his wealthy buddies, and giant corporations another massive tax cut."
"Vice President Harris on the other hand has a record of standing up for workers and taking on bad actors who rip people off, and she’ll do the same as President," Costello continued.
